How to evaluate a used shotgun

[Drivie]

Can anyone tell me how to evaluate a used shotgun? Please keep in mind that I have little to no experience with shotguns so I may not understand all of the terminology. If someone could describe to me how and what to look for I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your help,

What type of shotgun? Autoloader,pump,single shot,break open. Differant evaluations for differant types of shotguns.

Sorry, I was talking on the phone when I created the post. I'm looking at a 12 gauge Remington 870 Wingmaster.

Thanks!
